Content: New Jay-Z/Kanye Video "Otis"

Video directed by Spike Jonze. Includes a cameo from Aziz Ansari (supposedly he and Kanye became friends when he asked Kanye if he could use the name "Glow in the Dark" tour... sweet) & Jay and Kanye having a good ol' time driving around with some models.

You should watch it though, it's much better than I just described, I promise.

Watch The Throne dropped on Monday.

'I just think the collaboration was certainly a tribute to him, and it's really great,' Karla Redding-Andrews says, speaking of Jay-Z and Kanye's new single "Otis."

"It really means a lot to me, particularly to a whole new generation of young legends, because that's what Jay-Z and Kanye are," Redding-Andrews said. "I just think it's wonderful to tie an old legendary artist whose music history will never die to something [that] they have come up with. I just think the collaboration was certainly a tribute to him, and it's really great."

Ultimately, "Otis" is exposing a new generation to Redding's music in a very hip and cool way. "With what we do with our foundation — pairing music with education, always involved with young people — how can I not be a fan of Kanye West and Jay-Z?" Redding-Andrews said.

Content: New Kanye/Jay Song "Otis" + Game's Jay-Z Diss "Uncle Otis"

Kanye & Jay-Z released their second single from the upcoming joint album Watch the Throne ("H.A.M." was the first), which is scheduled for an August 1st release date.

Game got the beat remade/recreated & rapped over it on "Uncle Otis," which disses Jay-Z, Big Sean, and more.

From HipHop DX:

In making "Uncle Otis," Game recognizes that he's falling back on his word to stop dropping verbal barbs at Marcy Projects' native son. "I contemplated, 'Damn, I went at Jay; I said I was off of that.' Fuck it. I'm me. I'm Game. I do what I do." He continued, "I just had fun, man. Anybody that want a problem, or wants to say somethin' on a record, you know it's gonna get a response, so watch yaself."

... Well alrighty then.
